I know this is a dumb question, but is there a better way to properly aim headlights other than going to a country road at night?I am switching to the silverstars, and want the best possible resultsby the way does anyone else fight like crazy putting the retainers back in? I was tapeing the screw to the screw driver,and it was still a little bit of a battle

Replacing the headlights can be a pain, especially if your nose has sagged. I switched to H4 bulbs and housings, that way I can replace the bulbs from the rear in the future. No more fighting with screws or scratching paint.

If you get the H4 style, the headlights have a horizontal cutoff, so youcan dial in the up/down, the 'wedge' helps you dial in right/left easily.I believe some of the silverstar have an h4 bulb inside, those may also have the cutoff line if they have the little plate on one filament.

Good Luck with the silverstars.......I liked them too until they both went out at the same time! I too prefer the garage door at night method to align headlights - this allows you to adjust in a controled manner, and it works pretty good!
